Hotel Croydon, Miami (4-star)

Day 2 – Miami

Sprawling white sands lapped by clear waters, curving art deco architecture and the vibrant soul of Little Havana. The city is all these things and more but today you get to see it and feel it for yourself. Welcome to Miami. This morning well head out on a guided tour before spending the afternoon as you please. Perhaps bite into freshly baked arepas on Lincoln Road or take in Wynwoods eye-popping murals. If you want to put up your feet, theres no better place than Miami Beach for people watching and boundless sea views.

Day 3 – Key West

Palm-lined streets with elegant gingerbread mansions and tin-roofed conch houses. Key West is a rum-soaked paradise with a vibrant Caribbean charm. Its a tropical oasis – a seven-square-mile island dropped in impossibly blue waters. But its also laden with history and as you spend the next couple of days sinking your toes into the sand, youll begin to understand why Hemingway never left.

Day 4 – Key West

Today we take the conch train, which follows a route around the island. Youll see ornate Victorian mansions, stop by where Ernest Hemingway would socialise, and explore Old Town Key West. Youll learn about the Conch Republics history and residents, both past and present. Well also visit Hemingways 1930s home, located in the very heart of Old Town Key West, where the Nobel Prize winner wrote for more than 10 years. The rest of the day is yours to spend as you please. Perhaps do as the locals do and enjoy the dramatic sunset with a rum punch.

Day 5 – Everglades National Park – Fort Lauderdale

In a state renowned for pristine palm-lined beaches, the Everglades offers an entirely different experience. Its the third-largest National Park in the USA, but there is no wilderness like it anywhere else in the country. Its a vast subtropical area, where cypress trees tower overhead and the toothy grins of the resident reptiles peer up from below the waters surface. This afternoon, we enjoy an airboat ride to explore the area to its fullest, before continuing to Fort Lauderdale Beach.

Sonesta Fort Lauderdale Beach (4-star)

Day 6 – Fort Lauderdale

Beautiful beaches, a network of Venice-like waterways and gleaming yachts bobbing in the marina. Its little wonder most people dont stray too far from the coast when they visit Fort Lauderdale. Its known as Miamis northern, laid-back sister city and with a leisurely morning to spend as you please, we hope youll feel the same way. Perhaps sit back in a deck chair on the beach or get back to nature in the peaceful and green central park. This afternoon we head to the port where well board our ship. Youll have time to settle into your cabin before we set sail this evening.

Eurodam (4-star)

Days 7-8 – At sea

Two leisurely days at sea to enjoy the delights of the ship. Perhaps opt for a treatment at the Greenhouse Spa & Salon or sit on deck taking in the views.

Eurodam (4-star)

Day 9 – Philipsburg, St Maarten

This Leeward island has been famously bisected into French and Dutch territories since 1648 and, as such, is referred to as both Saint Martin and Sint Maartin. Each side is as beautiful as the other and in their respective capitals – Marigot and Philipsburg – there are ancient stone forts and candy-coloured buildings lining romantic winding streets. In Philipsburg, youll find some excellent art galleries, lively discos and neon-lit casinos, while on the French side, youll find streetside cafes serving caf au lait and pain au chocolat and al fresco eaters clinking glasses of ros and feasting on savoury crepes. On both sides the beaches are beautiful and the water warm. You might like to join an island tour to experience it all or take to the water on a catamaran cruise.

Eurodam (4-star)

Day 10 – St John’s, Antigua and Barbuda

The volcanic island of Antigua is something special. Known for its white sand beaches lined with palm trees – it also boasts charming harbours and lush countryside. You can wander through the port of St Johns, the capital of the dual-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda – its a port of brightly coloured buildings looking out onto bobbing yachts and fishing boats. Maybe take part in a spot of snorkelling or take in the views from a dockside restaurant.

Eurodam (4-star)

Day 11 – Castries, Saint Lucia

Stunning Piton peaks, lush rainforest, and perfectly turquoise water. Saint Lucia is an absolute gem in the Caribbean. The island combines true paradise with the awesome power of Mother Nature. On this cruise to St Lucia, you could visit the only drive-in volcano in the world, catch a glimpse of flitting hummingbirds and impressive buttress root systems on an open-air gondola through the rainforest, or feast on authentic island food.
